Chapter 77: Did it hurt you?
There's nothing wrong with this meal.
The person who cooked this meal is wrong.
Lu Mingze poked the rice: "Nothing."
The person he saw before he fainted on the road should be Qin Zhang.
I don’t know why Qin Zhang found him but didn’t come to see him, but went to the hospital cafeteria instead.
Jiang Cheng didn't notice that his expression was not right. He ate a piece of chicken offal and stuffed a big mouthful of rice. He was so surprised that his eyes widened: "It's delicious!"
"Wow, I didn't expect this chef from outside to be such a good cook."
"It's especially to my taste."
"After three years in Zhuhai, my mouth has become so bland that I can raise fish."
Jiang Cheng chattered incessantly while eating.
Seeing that Lu Mingze didn't move his chopsticks, he turned around and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
"What are you looking at me for?"
Lu Mingze curled his lips: "Sometimes I envy you."
"What do you envy me for? Do you have a big appetite?" Jiang Cheng took another mouthful of rice.
Lu Mingze smiled: "It's good to be so carefree and live a carefree life."
Jiang Cheng also smiled: "You just think too much and worry too much. It would be great if you were like me."
"If people are not happy in life, what's the point?"
Lu Mingze nodded: "You are right."
"Here, have a shrimp!" Jiang Cheng picked up a shrimp for him: "Don't you want something spicy?"
"This is just the right level of spiciness, a little spicy but not too spicy to be unbearable."
Lu Mingze took a bite and it tasted just like he remembered.
When he was with Qin Zhang, Qin Zhang would sometimes cook.
At that time, shrimps were still a rare commodity and difficult to buy.
However, Qin Zhang always finds a way to buy the first batch when the goods arrive at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The most popular dish is fried shrimp.
Qin Zhang would also peel the shrimp shells and watch Lu Mingze finish eating.
Most of the shrimps on a plate would go into his stomach, and Qin Zhang always ate very little.
Lu Mingze also likes to eat chicken offal, but Qin Zhang said he eats too much chicken offal, so he doesn’t buy it for him often.
On the contrary, Lu Mingze doesn't like eating vegetables, but when Qin Zhang cooks, he always stir-frys vegetables.
And they would force him to eat it.
Lu Mingze didn't like the taste of green vegetables. That was simply because when he was in the countryside, people didn't use much oil when stir-frying greens.
There is no difference between stir-frying and boiling.
In winter, we eat cabbage and radishes for several months.
After eating, my stomach felt like it was full of water, but it was all gone after a few pees.
So after he had the conditions to eat well, he basically stopped eating vegetables.
But Qin Zhang can cook vegetables in various ways, and the taste is completely different from what he remembers.
Gradually, Lu Mingze was no longer so averse to green vegetables.
In fact, Qin Zhang’s cooking skills were not good at the beginning. After being despised by Lu Mingze once, he vowed to cook delicious dishes.
He even went to a state-owned restaurant to find a chef and learn from him for a while.
After making it for Lu Mingze, if he is praised, he should be rewarded.
As for what this reward is, it is a bit inappropriate for children.
Thinking back to the past, Lu Mingze felt both sweet and sour in his heart.
He didn't know how he and Qin Zhang had come to this point.
Maybe it was when he heard Director Qin talking to others about what kind of wife his son would find in the future.
Maybe it was when he saw Qin Zhang and Qi Xinyan having a pleasant conversation.
Maybe it was when he heard others talking about how people like him were treated badly during the turbulent years.
"Eat more!" Jiang Cheng simply picked up the lunch box and stuffed the dishes into it.
"Eat more so you can get better faster."
Lu Mingze couldn't refuse the kindness and finished all the food under Jiang Cheng's eager gaze.
A bit full.
The book was taken away by Qin Zhang. Lu Mingze had nothing to kill time, so he could only half-lie on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, like an old monk in meditation.
Jiang Cheng didn't disturb him. He got some building blocks from somewhere and had a lot of fun playing with them.
After a while, Lu Mingze asked, "How are you preparing for the accounting exam?"
"Are you really not afraid of Vice President Lin urging you?"
Jiang Cheng's face instantly fell: "Don't mention it, okay."
"When I returned to the factory today, he gave me a direct order that I must pass the exam for this certificate."
"And they also want me to learn how to drive."
"I have to learn this and that, but my brain is so small that I can't learn anything."
Lu Mingze smiled: "Vice President Lin treats you very well."
"He's thinking about you, too."
Jiang Cheng blinked, then suddenly came close to Lu Mingze and whispered, "I also know that Lao Lin treats me well."
"But why do I feel like he gives me a weird feeling?"
"What's strange about that?" Lu Mingze asked with interest.
Jiang Cheng thought about it seriously and said, "He looks at me like a wolf looks at its prey."
"It's so straight and scary to look at."
"And then?" Lu Mingze continued to induce him to continue.
Jiang Cheng pinched his chin and thought: "Then, I felt like I was going to be eaten by him."
"Do you think he has some serious illness?"
Lu Mingze: "..."
Lu Mingze: "Why don't you ask him?"
"Oh, forget it!" Jiang Cheng waved his hand: "I'm afraid if I ask him, he will force me to study accounting again."
"You don't know how strict he is. He asked me questions, and if I couldn't answer them, he would beat me with a belt."
Lu Mingze suppressed his laughter and said, "Did it hurt you?"
"Not really, I just feel quite embarrassed." Jiang Cheng said, with a suspicious blush on his face.
Seeing him like this, what else is there for Lu Mingze to not understand?
"Then are you opposed to it?" Lu Mingze asked again.
Jiang Cheng sighed: "How dare I reject him? He just treats me like a child."
"When I was back home, he taught me to do my homework in the same way."
"He did it for my own good, but unfortunately, I have never been good at studying since I was a child."
The two were very close to each other when they spoke, as if they were whispering.
Just as they were talking excitedly, the door suddenly made a loud noise as if someone had kicked it hard.
Both of them were startled.
When Jiang Cheng looked over, he didn't see anyone else.
Maybe a patient passed by here and accidentally got it.
After being interrupted, Lu Mingze glanced at the sky outside the window which was already darkening, and prepared to wash up and rest.
He got out of bed carefully and went to the bathroom with Jiang Cheng, carrying the basin.
But he always felt that someone was following him from behind.
But when he turned around to look, he didn't find anything unusual.
Seeing him looking back frequently, Jiang Cheng asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Lu Mingze shook his head: "It's okay!"
Maybe it's an illusion.
Lu Mingze went to bed early at night, but his ribs hurt and he couldn't sleep well at all.
Jiang Cheng, on the other hand, was snoring loudly as he lay on the camp bed.
After being woken up by Jiang Cheng again, Lu Mingze simply opened his eyes and thought about something.
He missed Qin Zhang and the father who abandoned him and his mother.
I still miss Lu Lingze.
Late at night, there was a slight noise at the door. Lu Mingze was startled, and then his eyes fell on the tall figure who came in.
